Finally, a router that performs!
Fantastic router! Literally night and day difference over isp-supplied router.Setup was very straight forward. Plug it in, turn it on, run an update and the router was ready to go.If like me, you’re isp is locked to the supplied router, this isn’t a problem as the isp routers MAC address can easily be cloned over to the MT6000 and everything is plain sailing from there.Coverage is fantastic. Previously I had a mesh system setup that still struggled with delivering advertised speeds throughout my house (five bedroom, large property). The MT6000 however easily covers the whole house and gives far better speeds throughout.Tonnes of additional features such as a variety of VPN and cloud services that I’ll probably never use, but nice to haves. Build quality is also excellent, much better than anything I’ve previously owned.To summarise, if you’re after a replacement router from your isp supplied one to improve performance, then I highly recommend the IG.Net MT6000.

Fully featured - Fantastic value for money!
There's a lot to like about this router - software/firmware is being actively developed, and it's based on OpenWRT which is a good thing. Despite what you might read/see on Youtube, as I type this in early June 2024, the device _is_ stable (although that hasn't been the case judging by the GLInet forums).The UI is snappy, and the unit offers performance comparable with devices multiple times more expensive - and the wifi coverage is considerably better than what I had previously!Whilst the router does DHCP and DNS as you'd expect, if you're doing anything with static reservations or whatever, when you enable AdGuard you have to redo that DHCP/DNS in AdGuard itself - not a problem, just something to be aware of.The fly in the ointment for me is that I have a lowly FTTC/VDSL connection which is looked after by a fritz box (a 7530 AX). This won't act as a dumb modem unfortunately, so I can either use the Flint2 as an AP (an absolute waste given the functionality on offer here) or I can double NAT - and for reasons we don't need to go into here, double NAT doesn't work for me. With this in mind, I'm returning it - hopefully when (if?!) FTTP becomes an option, I'll revisit the device - but for now I need the VDSL stability the fritz box gives me...There's every chance you'd be very happy with the Flint2 - it is a very capable device, offers tremendous value for money, and I'll happily recommend it.

Brilliant router
Brilliant router. WIFI speeds are much quicker. Stable operation with ISP and wired connection. Configuration at the simple level is easy but you can jump into the Luci interface if you want to delve further. I haven't needed to. It's also built like a tank and not made from the usual cheap black plastic. Recommended.

AMAZING ROUTER!
I needed to upgrade the router I got from my service provider, EE.I have the EE 1.6Gbps FTTP connection and was getting very poor WiFi coverage and the port on the provided router was only capable of a max of 1Gbps download speeds, so I wasn't able to take full advantage of my connection.I decided to look around for an upgrade and went with the Flint 2, based on reviews.Oh boy, it's a very impressive piece of hardware. I'm now getting the FULL 1.6Gbps download speeds all throughout my house and even up the end of my garden through WiFi. Same with the Ethernet connection on my PC and XBOX.It has a ton of customisation options, including downloading or creating your own scripts (although I would warn against it if you don't know what you're doing), VPN options, and has a USB port to attach your own hard drive for one of multiple NAS options. Plus too many more features to name.It still gets regular updates to improve it's functionality too which surprised me.I HIGHLY recommend this router, I'm very glad I got one.

Impressed
I was not sure about the brand and its fork of OpenWrt software. There are instructions on how to flash it to the original OpenWrt software but after using their UI I actually really like and kept it. It runs on OpenWrt and you can access it through the advance options. The only thing that their UI might not support the latest OpenWrt software but they provide the necessary updates. I can confirm that I was able to update Tailscale to the latest version by using reading their forums. They have a great support team. Amazing value for money for the specs you are getting. Looks minimal and mean looking but I like it. Amazing functionality by using their UI, you can almost tweak anything you want. Wifi signal and range is amazing, no issues.

Great, apart from the 2 broken LAN ports
It is a great router, with tons of features and the native firmware UX is much easier to use than OpenWrt for things like setting up Wireguard etc, but I found that LAN ports 2 & 3 did not work for me. Tried a full reset and still did not fix it. So unfortunately I have to return it.
